Thread: Will these things that I have participated in/done help me get into medical...

...school in the future? I am a 17-year-old Canadian girl in grade 11 in high school. For most of my life I have aspired to become a family physician, and I am doing everything I can to help me achieve this goal. Out of this list of things that I have done/planning to do partly to increase my chances of getting into medical school in the future, which ones will actually help me do this?

Things I Have Done:
- become fluent in French
-volunteered in a Romanian orphanage/clinic for 3 weeks
-traveled around Australia, Central America, North America, and Europe
-participated in a "MedQuest" summer camp (developed by the medical school I hope to go to) designed to provide students interested in pursuing a medical career with realistic experiences in the field of medicine
-gotten a 95% or 96% average in school in the past 2 years
-am currently in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, which is a challenging two-year program of international education
-have won many academic awards at school
-am very involved in extracurricular activities at school

Things I Plan on Doing/Will Do
-I will have more than 200 hours of volunteer hours by the time I graduate from high school
-I plan on learning Spanish
-I'm hoping to volunteer in an orphanage in Peru next year

All these stats look great! This pretty much guarantees that you will get into a good undergraduate school where you can excell academically...the work you do in undergrad is what will count most towards getting into medical school.
Keep up the good work and good luck!
